- Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) affects 30%-50% of breast cancer survivors (BCS), causing long-term sensory loss and impaired function.
- A study compared Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Breast Cancer (MBSR(BC)) with Breast Cancer Education Support (BCES) and Usual Care (UC) in 114 BCS.
- Both MBSR(BC) and BCES showed significant improvements in CIPN symptoms over time compared to UC, with effects increasing by weeks 12 and 26.
- The findings suggest MBSR(BC) and BCES as effective non-pharmacological interventions for managing CIPN in BCS.
